38 JOURNAL OF THE 
Trin. (1834) P. spaerocarpon Ell. ex Chapm. Flora. 
First Ed. 576. Culms tufted, erect or ascending, 
14’—24’ high, rather stout, glabrous. Sheaths glabrous, 
lower generally longer than the internodes; no ligule. 
Leaves thick, erect, rigid, lanceolate or narrower, 2’—3’ 
long, 4’’—6”’ wide, taper-pointed, rounded at the ciliate 
base, otherwise glabrous. Panicle 15’—3’ long, oval or 
oblong, branches fascicled, the lower ascending. Spike- 
lets numerous, very small, scarcely 3’’ long, spherical. 
Distinguished from P. sphaerocarpon by .having narrower, erect 
leaves, and smaller spikelets. Northern Florida and probably the ad- 
jacent parts of Georgia. Florida: Curtiss; Jacksonville, 1894, No.

24) Panicum Appisonii Nash, Torr. Bul. 25: 83 
(1898). ‘Tufted, stems erect or ascending froma genicu- 
late base, rigid. At first simple, at length much branch- 
ed, the branches erect, the lower part of the stem pu- 
bescent with long ascending hairs which become much 
shorter towards the top. Sheaths appressed pubescent, 
sometimes longer than the internodes. Leaves erect, glab- 
rous, acuminate, lanceolate, 1’—3’ long, 135’’—3’’ wide; 
ligule pilose. Panicle, long-peduncled, ovate to oblong, 
the rather few branches erect or ascending; spikelets ob- 
ovate, 1’’ long, the first scale about one half as long as 
the 9—11-nerved, very pubescent second and third. 
Type material from southern New Jersey. Related to P. con- 
sanguineum,. Ihave found the same species in eastern North Carolina. 
25) PANICUM CONSANGUINEUM Kth. Enum. Pl. 1: 106 
(1833). Stems sometimes tufted, generally single, vil- 
lous with soft spreading or ascending hairs, at least be- 
low, 12’—30’ long, spreading or ascending from a genic- 
ulate base, at first simple, the autumnal form very much 
branched above, and often reclining. Sheaths shorter 
than the internodes, villous with soft grayish pubescence, 
liguie a ring of very short hairs, sometimes of longer.
